Chelsea's WSL Title Hopes Derailed in 2-0 Defeat by Arsenal
Arsenal's win at Stamford Bridge ended a long away drought and could extend Manchester City's lead to nine points in the Women's Super League with Sunday's match.
- On Jan 24, Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, with Beth Mead scoring in the 55th minute and assisting Mariona Caldentey six minutes later.
- Arsenal's energetic pressing forced errors that disrupted Chelsea's game as Chelsea created chances but repeatedly overhit shots, limiting them to one shot on target from 19 chances.
- A crowd of 30,545 watched Sam Kerr start before she was withdrawn just before the hour after a turnover led to Arsenal's opener; Kerr is nearing full fitness with five goals and one assist in six matches.
- The result hands Manchester City a significant opportunity to extend their lead, as a win on Sunday would leave Chelsea nine points behind and Arsenal sits three points clear of Tottenham with 26 points.
- Injuries to Chloe Kelly and Leah Williamson, plus four Australian players joining the Matildas ahead of the March 1 Asian Cup, complicate Arsenal’s run-in before their must-win trip to Manchester City on Feb. 8.
